I use a point system for screening; applicants get positive points for positive aspects, lose points for negative aspects, and I have a point threshold for each property. 

Sometimes they want me to fix something (like cracks in a driveway that no other company had cared about previously).  

Just use your realtor to screen tenants and manage transitions.

Screening applicants!

Application screening is not a pass/fail.

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

While she has been respectful and kept the home well-maintained, the late payments are a significant red flag, especially since it’s become a pattern over the course of the lease.You’ve found a potential new tenant with the financial stability to meet your needs, and I suggest you proceed with the screening process and hope the timelines work out for their desired move-in date.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
